Thanks, Marc! I just (finally!) got a copy of your book. The above poster was right, you are generous with our expertise. That applies to your book as well! Just curious….do you remember the actual time of the drawing in the video?

Hey Doug – Well I can’t recall the exact time, but you can do these fairly quickly when you get into the zone. Let’s say 5-15 minutes? Depending on complexity. But really you draw for ‘a while’, say 2-3 hours and end up with “a stack” – 12?15?20? and then you go to the cafe and tint them all over a drinks or dinner. For me the bottom line is like – out of any given day, I end up with 3-5 ‘great sketches’ and some lesser ones I don’t show. Mostly depending on how inspiring the views are and how much walking vs how much drawing :)

Marc, many thanks for the video and the PDF. I used the material as the content for my U3A art workshop – the theme was Sketching With A Pen. The average age of the class is about 70 and spans a range of abilities. The workshop was really successful and everyone enjoyed it, so now we have several converts to pen sketching. Once again many thanks for sharing your expertise.
